When I say I'm doing pretty good, I mean I'm doing sort of fair, much better than poorly but not quite good.
I think "pretty" in this context is a word that means, or used to mean, "sort of." -
It's middlin' 'tween "good" and "excellent", unless it is used sarcastically. In that case it means something between "awful" and "my kid could do better."

I agree with Marcia.
